Abstract excerpt
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) displays potent vasoconstrictive effects, attenuation of fibrinolysis, and platelet activation and aggregation, thus possibly promoting thromboembolism (VTE). ACE gene plays important role in regulation of ACE. Because the renin/angiotensin system affects hemostasis through different mechanisms, data on the possible role of angiotensin-converting enzyme I/D polymorphism in the...
